(Closed) Yay! I got my fabric for BM dresses!

I got my bridesmaids’ fabric yesterday! We drove over to Mexico for cloth-hunting. I had wanted to get the turquoise and lighter aqua like the actual dress in the picture, but I couldn’t find the right shade for the belt… All we found was a thousand shades of baby blue OR the right color in a terrible fabric. So we ended up getting CHARTREUSE (lol) for the belt, which is the other wedding colour. I think it will be nice for spring….

And it was not a bad deal either….Had to get 20 “metros” (meters) of the turquoise, & 7 m of the green in “Raso Americano” (Bridal satin? i guess its called…It’s the thicker, not so shiny satin) and 20 m of lining

YAY! Another bride who’s making the dresses! My mom made our bridesmaid dresses and they came out to about $20 apiece and we made 6 of them. And they were gorgeous! So you can totally do it! And i love that turquoise and limey green color! They’re just great and fresh together.

@ejs well i’m not personally making them, but a friend-of-the-family-seamstress who is also invited to the wedding is making them. So if u meant what pattern i’m using, as in the paper thing that u use for the guidelines of cutting out the cloth…i have no idea!! lol I just showed her a pic. The style is from davids bridal, but they didn’t have it anymore not even online.

Oh i see, cool! yeah we had to go buy the pattern from a fabric store. So the dress will look like the one in the photo I guess? That’s awesome that she is a seamstress so she can make something that difficult (it’s definitely harder than the style we picked out!). I can’t wait to see them =]

I am using the same dress as my inspiration I wasnt brave enough to make all 6 dresses for my bridesmaids but I did find a similar sillohette by belsoie and I am make the obi sash. I have the pattern and measurements for the sash part if you want a tutorial
